The current assessment significantly exceeds comparable market values in my neighborhood, as demonstrated by the comparative property data submitted with this petition. 2. My property taxes have increased disproportionately compared to similar properties in the area, suggesting a potential inaccuracy in the assessment. 3. As a foreign national new to the U.S. property tax system, I was unable to attend the March Board of Review due to my unfamiliarity with the appeal process and timeframes. I respectfully request consideration of these extenuating circumstances. Based on the evidence to be provided, I request a fair adjustment of the property's taxable and assessed values to align with actual market conditions.

This is your contention of Assessed Value (also known as State Equalized Value). 346250 If you believe the Taxable Value differs from your contention of Assessed Value, enter your contention of Taxable Value. 320000 Section 8: Classification Information *Only the MI Dep’t of Treasury may appeal this issue to the Tribunal* Parcel Identification Number: Current Classification of Property as established by Board of Review: What do you believe is the property’s classification? If improved property, how is the property currently being used? If improved property, for what use was the property designed? Fee Information Does the subject property have a Principal Residence Exemption of at least 50% as of the date of the filing of this petition? Yes Are you appealing ONLY the denial of a Poverty Exemption? No If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, you are not required to pay any filing fees. The filing fee is based on the greater of the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention. If you are appealing more than one parcel, the parcel with the highest State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention will be used to determine your filing fee, plus $25.00 will be added for each additional parcel being appealed, not to exceed a total filing fee of $1,000. If your property is residential property (see MCL 205.762) and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: Filing Fee is: $100,000.00 and under $125.00 $100,000.01 to $500,000.00 $200.00 $Over $500,000.00 $300.00 If your property is NOT residential property (see MCL 205.762) and the State Equalized Value or Taxable Value in contention is: Filing Fee is: $100,000.00 and under $250.00 * Plus $25.00 for each additional parcel, as indicated above.
